Assault Defense Attorney Serving Friendswood

Criminal Defense You Can Trust

At the Gutheinz Law Firm, we have defended everything from simple assault
to sexual assault. As criminal defense attorneys, we know that the facts
are never quite as simple as law enforcement and prosecutors make them
out to be. When we accept a case we begin by assembling the facts and
then we endeavor to prove where the Government's case is weak or erroneous.
A conviction for an assault creates a social stigma and a lifetime of
lost employment opportunities. As attorneys, we fight to win your case,
and where possible secure an
expungement of your criminal record.

We are ready to defend any type of assault charge, including:

Simple assault

Aggravated assault

Assault with a weapon

Sexual assault

Aggravated sexual assault

Assault of a child, elderly or disabled

It is important to note that even if the alleged victim was not hurt, you
could still be charged.

A Team of Law Enforcement Insiders

Our law firm includes a former prosecutor in the U.S. Army and a former
Special Agent. We know the laws and how the criminal justice system works.
We also have inside knowledge of how criminal charges such as assault
are investigated and prosecuted, and are ready to put our experience to
work for you.

Punishments for Assault

The punishments for assault depends on many factors, such as whether serious
injuries occurred, the relationship of the alleged victim to the defendant,
the defendant's criminal past, and other factors. For misdemeanor
simple assault, you could be facing fines of up to $4,000 and up to a
year in jail, while a felony assault can yield years in prison and up
to $10,000 in fines. Your future is at stake and it is important that
you work with an attorney early on in your case.
